AdvancedTCA /AdvancedMC

 

MEETING THE TECHNOLOGICAL NEEDS OF NEXT GENERATIONS TELECOM NETWORKS

AdvancedTCA is changing the implementation of wireless and wireline applications in the telecom and datacom network infrastructure.

AdvancedTCA supplies the ideal architecture for a very wide range of network elements capable of being ported to ATCA/AMC in all network segments including access, edge, core, transport, and data center infra structures, such as Radio Network Controllers (RNCs), Gateway GPRS Support Nodes (GGSNs), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) servers, Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs), and media servers, among many others.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

  • Scalable shelf capacity to 2.5Tb/s
  • Scalable system availability to 99.999% and above
  • Robust power infrastructure and large cooling capacity
  • High levels of modularity and configurability
  • Ease of integration of multiple functions and new features
  • Ability to host large pools of processors, storage, network processors and DSPs
  • Convergence of telecom access, core, optical, and datacenter functions
  • Full security and regulatory conformance (NEBS, ETSI)

 

 

AdvancedMC

 

ADVANCED MEZZANINE CARDS:

In order to ensure easy adaptation to a wide range of applications, a corresponding mezzanine concept was developed in the course of AdvancedTCA standardization. The new AdvancedMC specifi cation (Advanced Mezzanine Card) defi ned by the PICMG committee adds leading-edge innovations to the PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) model from the CompactPCI world. AdvancedMCs greatly extend the modularity and confi gurability of an AdvancedTCA implementation by offering hot-swap and front load capabilities at module level. An AdvancedMC represents the smallest “Field Replaceable Unit“ (FRU) in an AdvancedTCA shelf and, thus, increases the granularity of the system implementation below board (blade) level.

BENEFITS OF AdvancedMCs:

  • Smallest “Field Replaceable Unit” (FRU)
  • Increased level of granularity
  • Higher fl exibility and modularity
  • Higher scalability and confi gurability
  • Reduces development costs
  • Shortens development time
  • Faster time-to-specifi c system implementation

 

MicroTCA

 

A modular, open systems approach as a complementary solution to AdvancedTCA for cost constrained applications like:
small scale network elements and service nodes, modular telecom line units, micro base stations, wireless access devices or PBX. MicroTCA has also generated interest in non-telecom market segments, such as medical or transportation.

Reduced Development Costs


Kontron simply takes the bother - and the expense - out of building complex communication platforms by combining commercially available off-the-shelf building blocks and application specific elements. The result is new telecom gear for nearly any type of carrier grade network system.

BENEFITS FOR TEMS

  • Sizable material, and development savings
  • Faster fi rst-to-market
  • Shorter lead times for build-to-order systems
  • Lower life-cycle costs

Savings for Carriers

 

Savings for Carriers
